This month we checked in with some of the resident artists in our studios at Collision Gallery to see what they have been working on over the last few months.

This week we caught a glimpse of an ongoing series of painted photographs by Janne Reuss.

Catch a glimpse of Janne's work here

Janne Reuss is a multidisciplinary and conceptually-driven artist. In her recent series Rewriting the Story, she combines photography and painting, creating ambiguous spaces that evoke imaginary and spiritual landscapes. A constant theme in her work is the exploration of the human condition of freedom and confinement. The process of liberation and transformation of false narratives and identities.

She studied Fine Arts at the Academy of Art & Design in Stuttgart, Germany, and History of Art in Mexico City, where she was born and raised. Her work is held in private as well as public collections: The Donovan Art Collection at St. Michael’s College, Toronto, Canada (2013), and the Municipal Gallery Ostfildern, Germany (2008).
